1. INFORMATION ABOUT US
1.1. www.littlescratch.com (the "Site") is operated by David Hannigan trading as Little Scratch registered in England and Wales as a sole trader.

2. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
2.1. After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a item. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the item has been dispatched (the "Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
2.2. The Contract will relate only to those Item(s) whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Item(s) which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Item(s) has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

3. OUR STATUS
3.1. Please note that in relation to original artwork ("Artwork"), we accept orders as agents on behalf of third party sellers. The resulting legal contract is between you and that third party seller, and is subject to the terms and conditions of that third party seller, which they will advise you of directly. You should carefully review their terms and conditions applying to the transaction.
3.2. We may also provide links on our Site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking, that products you purchase from third party sellers through our site, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us absolutely. This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller. We will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and we may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third party seller.

4. CONSUMER RIGHTS
4.1. If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you have received the Item(s). In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Item(s) in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in paragraph 8 below).
4.2. To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing and return the Item(s) to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk.
4.3. Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

5. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
5.1. Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

6. RISK AND TITLE
6.1. The Prints will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
6.2. Ownership of the Item(s) will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Item(s), including delivery charges.

7. PRICE AND PAYMENT

7.2. These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due.
7.3. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
7.4. Our Site contains a large number of Item(s) and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Item(s) listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Item(s) correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Item(s) to you. If a Item(s) correct price is higher than the price stated on our Site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Item(s), or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
7.5. We are under no obligation to provide the Item(s) to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing. 

8. OUR REFUNDS POLICY
8.1. When you return a Item(s) to us (for instance, because you have cancelled the Contract between us, or have notified us in accordance with paragraph 20 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Item(s) is defective), we will examine the returned Item(s) and will notify you of your refund via email within a reasonable period of time. We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
